To find the time for one revolution (period) and the radius of the circle of a conical pendulum, we use the given information:

  • Length of the string, L=100 cm=1.0 mL = 100 \text{ cm} = 1.0 \text{ m}
  • Angle with the vertical, θ=30∘\theta = 30^\circ
  • We will use the acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2.
  1. Calculate the radius of the circle, rr.

    The radius of the circular path is related to the length of the string and the angle θ\theta by trigonometry.

    r=Lsin⁡θr = L \sin\theta

    Substitute the given values:

    r=(1.0 m)sin⁡(30∘)r = (1.0 \text{ m}) \sin(30^\circ) r=(1.0 m)(0.5)r = (1.0 \text{ m}) (0.5) r=0.5 mr = 0.5 \text{ m}

    Converting to centimeters:

    r=0.5 m×100 cm1 mr = 0.5 \text{ m} \times \frac{100 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ m}} r=50 cmr = 50 \text{ cm}
  2. Calculate the time for one revolution (period), TT.

    For a conical pendulum, the period TT is given by the formula:

    T=2πLcos⁡θgT = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L \cos\theta}{g}}

    Substitute the given values:

    T=2π(1.0 m)cos⁡(30∘)9.8 m/s2T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(1.0 \text{ m}) \cos(30^\circ)}{9.8 \text{ m/s}^2}}

    We know that cos⁡(30∘)=32≈0.8660\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.8660.

    T=2π1.0 m×0.86609.8 m/s2T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1.0 \text{ m} \times 0.8660}{9.8 \text{ m/s}^2}} T=2π0.86609.8T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.8660}{9.8}} T=2π0.088367... s2T = 2\pi \sqrt{0.088367... \text{ s}^2} T=2π(0.297266... s)T = 2\pi (0.297266... \text{ s}) T≈1.8676 sT \approx 1.8676 \text{ s}

    The radius of the circle is 50 cm\boxed{50 \text{ cm}}.
    The time for one revolution (period) is 1.87 s\boxed{1.87 \text{ s}}.
